“Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?” That’s what we all said last night when Jordin said, “Thank You Charlotte”, and walked off the Fillmore stage. She took our breath away, so much energy and spunk. I had an amazing time at this show, I have seen her 4 times and this has been by far the best yet. I also got to meet her, she is down to earth and she is one artist that hasn’t let the fame get to her. When I arrived at the venue I noticed it was in an old warehouse and I was like this better be good! Walk inside the doors and its one pretty place and the sound system was AMAZING! Days difference, a boy band that was a good opening act, personally never heard of them, and they really got the crowd pumped. They sang 4 songs of their own, great harmonies and energy. Every one of them needed to loosen up and have fun; they all were a little stiff and kinda acted like they were afraid of us. When their set ended, THEY, yes Days Difference, cleaned their own stuff up off the stage, that’s when they earned my respect. Kate Voegele, once again someone I have never heard of, hit the stage with an upbeat song and let it rip from the first note to the last. She had a lot of interaction with the crowd, she praised on how great of a state NC was because she works in Wilmington with the cast of One Tree Hill. She then covered one song that is covered by everyone, hallelujah, one of the best covers I have ever heard. She is an excellent artist, really knows what she is doing, and has excellent stage presence. At the end of her 7 song set, she sang the song “99 times” and she had the crowd really singing along with it. After a 10 minute set change, Miss Jordin Sparks took the stage by storm. She came out with the obvious choice of an opening song, “Battlefield”, it was a different mix then what it is on the radio, a better mix. She smoothly moved into song after song, new songs from the “Battlefield” album dominated her 14 song set list but she of course sang the classics, “One Step Time” “Tattoo” and “No Air”. Jordin also thanked all of us for voting for her, the typical idol saying but they all sincerely mean it (at least it seems like they do). She honestly sang her heart out and seemed to show the gratitude to her fans. All I can say Jordin Sparks is one of the few performers and I have a lot of respect for her.
And As Always Please Enjoy the Show.
